This is my favorite rendition of Lovin' You. The wistful sweetness in Minnie's voice and melancholy tone of the violins make it such a bitter sweet affair.
In this performance her right arm was incapacitated due to lymphedema and she smiled, and sung like an angel. How strong she must have been, battling Breast cancer for 3 years and still doing shows. R.I.P angel
I have just read her Wikipedia page which prompted me to seek out this particular performance. She had two children Marc and Maya Rudolph (actress Bridesmaids). When she originally wrote this song there is a part where she sings “Maya Maya” repeatedly. This was to distract her daughter when she was a child. But if you notice at 3 minutes in of this performance she sings “Maya Maya Ringo Ringo”. Ringo was her nickname for her son Marc. Because she knew that she didn’t have long to live and wanted to include ‘both’ her children. What a tear-jerker aye?… Well it’s certainly made me well up that’s for sure. Peace my fellow brothers and sisters! ✌🏻🫶🏻
The “while we grow old” lyric is eerie and heartbreaking because while singing this song Minnie knew she would never live long enough to grow old. Cancer is an evil disease. RIP ❤️🕊️
i think what really breaks my heart is when she calls her children's names at the end. there can't be anything more painful than knowing you are going to be leaving your children behind 💔
She left the song in their honor. Much respect for her. Talented and in the final stages of her life, yet she performed perhaps her best for fans & her children. Courageous & priceless
It's remarkable that this lady never had a vocal decline even as she was near death,in fact she sounds even better than the debut if thats even possible,God she was an angel.
she must have been in so much pain, not only with the thought of leaving her babies but simply knowing but not knowing when she was going to go… Love you Minnie, your voice has touched generations 🩷🩷🩷
Perfection in her voice and mood... I can only imagine how she felt in 1979, when treatment for cancer was much less advanced.. she sang this performance like a bird, literally. Much respect for the artist and the person. Its 337 am and im sitting here in awe.
I'm here just mesmerized by God's gift of her voice...its 3:55 am.... What a voice, what a special talent. We are blessed to have her in our hearts and memories. Oh, when she sings about Maya...tears.
@@tinarjackson9844 Today's Technology couldn't save her. By the time they caught the cancer and did a mastectomy, it had already spread to her lymph nodes and the entire body. It was so bad they told her she only had 6months to live. She lived 3yrs with Treatment and died.
Yes! She struggled, she didn't want to leave as well to leave her family, her sister being interviewed on Unsung, daughter Maya explained as well, her mother's life was short lived.
Someone needs to take this recording and have it digitally remastered because it deserves to sound as great as Minnie's voice. And especially with the violins. It would be heaven!
The original queen of the whistle register! So strong and so passionate! Absolutely beautiful voice! Not even cancer could take that away from her. This is incredibly beautiful! May her wonderful soul RIP!!!
My tears couldn't stop falling with this video.Minnie Riperton didn't want to go she basically, was crying it out with grace and courage.Rest in peace sweet angel.💞Still loving you.2019
I remember being pregnant with my first baby in 1979 and walking through the Westwood Cemetery trying to find Minnie’s grave. I did locate it. How very sad that she passed way too soon. I loved her voice so much. R. I. P. Minnie. You are missed!!
This woman had the heart of a lion she battled and battled through that terrible disease of cancer, after this performance she passed away some months later, she should have Received the courage award here's a woman who knew she was going to die but kept a smile on her face through that whole ordeal, minnie Ripperton may you Rest in eternal peace and god bless your beautiful soul, we lost a star here but the good lord gained a beautiful angel, 😢😢😢😢😢
She is a gift from Heaven. She sang even when she was severely sick… rest is peace princess of soprano. You’re remarkable person! Miss you so much… perhaps Lord needs such persons like you aside. 🙏🙏🙏
At this point cancer had paralyzed her arm. Family said it was really hard to get her dressed 4 her performances etc. It's also said that Return to Forever was her goodbye song.❤🙏🏾⚘
There’s something very sadistic about this. What I mean is how in the world can a gifted angel like this be stricken with cancer and die at 31. Devastating.
Ringo..Maya..that line broke me. Imagine knowing you only have a short time to live and never going to see your son and daughter grow up and singing the pain through their names. 😢
Ringo was her son's nickname and she loved her babies. Richard was her husband and he adored her and held her until her last moments. Theirs was a true love story.
When i tell yall MINNIE JULIA RIPERTON was the definition of a true woman warrior This is what i meant She fought on till the end She smiled through the pain She didnt do what some of us today would do , sulk around and be sad because of what is to come She strode on and gave us a final concert I truly think she deserves more recognition for all she has done And i tear up everytime i watch this 🥺 Especially when she calls out Marc and Maya's name 🤦♀️😫🥺😭😢😪
I just watched Maya, her daughter, rapping on SNL for Mother’s Day. Watching Riperton here sing Lovin You and knowing she had included Maya in her song was so touching. What strength she had knowing she was leaving her young children behind!
It's taken me 2 full days to gather my thoughts...but July 12, 2019 marked FORTY YEARS, since the awful and inconceivable loss of this gorgeous and beautifully talented angel-a victim of breast cancer which metastasized. Even more fascinating is to know that actress/comedienne (and SNL alum)Maya Rudolph, is the only daughter of the incredible Minnie Riperton. Besides Maya, Minnie left behind her husband, the recording producer Richard Rudolph, and young son Marcus. Such sadness is so hard to put into words, the tragedy of losing Ripperton at just age 31. I find myself unable to comprehend what her life may have been, had her illness been attacked early on, with modern medicine and technology...Minni would have been just 71 years young today. RIP Minnie Ripperton(and condolences to Richard, Maya and Marcus Rudolph on what surely must have been a sad day for all "LOVIN", and undoubtedly, remembering Minnie).
I was I. The 12th grade.getting ready to graduate...I was sad when she passed away.i never knew she was talking singing for her kids...Rip .I'm now 62yrs old
Never get tired of listening to Minnie Ripperton. She was a class act. Such golden perfection in her vocal abilities. Just her singing with the orchestra backing her, it doesn't get any better than that!
Like so many who commented, I can't help but cry! It's upsetting knowing that this beautiful woman was taken away at such a young age! Taken away from Her children, Her husband and The world that adored her. She never stopped glowing & Her beauty never went away
@@theelvisguru9490"No god would take away someone like her in such a painful way". It's the consequences of what we have done as humans. All of us. Not just the first humans.

I think you did not understand what I said. I did not say Minnie was the only. I said she is the greatest user of this Register as she is the only fully trained opera singer. Her use and ability supersedes all. Betty Write uses it only for novelty not actual singing in the way Minnie does. She had every normal technique a singer uses in head voice in this register, this can not be said for anyone else. Also You dont know Minnie if you think Betty has the strongest. Minnie used the technique of removing weight from notes to fit the song she did. Often her songs required light notes which is harder than the reverse she would make it sound almost non human. She also could throw all her weight into a note like Betty only could. Please dont ever disrespect the first Operatic R&B singer who is the greatest of them all @@TW-mg3ld
It always makes me tear up when she sings her children's names 😢 What a phenomenal woman that fought to the very end valiantly and beautifully ❤️ Long live Minnie Ripperton!!!
Actually, Ringo was her son Marc's nickname. She absolutely loved her children so much she immortalized her connection with them in two songs, As heard here in "Lovin You" and also in "Wouldn't Matter Where You Are" (Marc.... I'm Calling You; I've got to get my hands on you right now).
I can remember being a innocent young child in the 2nd grade and really liking this song. Now at 53 not so innocent anymore I still feel the same. Just Beautiful.
I’m 53 I can remember living in the projects listen to this song, her voice always take Me home with tear in My eyes. Her voice is the only 1 that does it for Me.
3:353:35 Absolutely the most beautiful love song ever. I have loved this song since the 1st time I heard it all those years ago. It so perfectly described how I felt about my husband & her voice is so angelic. Still Loving You after all these years, my love, even though you've gone to heaven like Minnie.💖❤️🔥💖❤️🔥💖 ...
I wish I would have met Minnie Riperton. She had a Beautiful voice. Omg she can hit a high note. It's not gonna be another Minnie Riperton. She is a perfect angel. May she continue to rest in God's loving arms.
In this performance her right arm was incapacitated due to lymphedema and she smiled, and sung like an angel. How strong she must have been, battling Breast cancer for 3 years and still doing shows. R.I.P angel
Lavonda - i guess she just had to ... :) i live how her voice matured but she still could do the whistle.
Less than three weeks later, this Angel would Pass !! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LOSS !!
日本からです。
ありがとう。
本当に天使への声
My God. You’re so right.
The fact she was in such great pain at this point, and still managed to sing this song beautifully, speaks volumes. Rest In Paradise Minnie.
Amen
Beautiful
If i get a petition started to get Minnie Riperton inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Who would sign it????
I definitely would sign it!!!
@@scorpionqueen66 I sure would!
I would sign it over and over!
Sure would
Same here ❤

I was crying also, and also after reading the Wiki piece on her ❤️
She was truly amazing and beautiful
Heartbreakingly touching thank you for answering what I was wondering...WOW! Jaw dropping performance!
She went out doing what she loved and what she did best. Dying at 31 with 2 young children and a promising career ahead just isn’t fair at all.
The “while we grow old” lyric is eerie and heartbreaking because while singing this song Minnie knew she would never live long enough to grow old. Cancer is an evil disease. RIP ❤️🕊️
i think what really breaks my heart is when she calls her children's names at the end. there can't be anything more painful than knowing you are going to be leaving your children behind 💔
This is so sad and beautiful at the same time 😞 💔🥺😢☹️❤️
Indeed. She did not want to leave her babies. At least they know how much she treasured them. She is 100% an Angel.
There is one thing more painful. Your children leaving their parents behind.
Man😭😭😭😭
She left the song in their honor. Much respect for her. Talented and in the final stages of her life, yet she performed perhaps her best for fans & her children. Courageous & priceless
It's remarkable that this lady never had a vocal decline even as she was near death,in fact she sounds even better than the debut if thats even possible,God she was an angel.
She was just now entering her vocal prime here, she's so remarkable in every way.
Omgggg. I thought she sounded even better too!!!! What a treasure. Poor lady.
Amen🙏🙏♥️♥️🕊️🕊️
she must have been in so much pain, not only with the thought of leaving her babies but simply knowing but not knowing when she was going to go… Love you Minnie, your voice has touched generations 🩷🩷🩷
She did not want to leave Maya and Marc. I’m so glad God gave her three more years to live. We love you Minnie .❤❤❤
Perfection in her voice and mood... I can only imagine how she felt in 1979, when treatment for cancer was much less advanced.. she sang this performance like a bird, literally. Much respect for the artist and the person. Its 337 am and im sitting here in awe.

Its 3:21pm and I too, am in Awe

The epitome of Sheer Perfection !
Dying inside but outside you're looking fearless. Rest easy beautiful lady!
Ay!! 🤟🏾 very nicely put
2pac!
Queenly in her ways, she managed to keep the world alive with her magical voice
When she starts singing her children's names "Ringo and Maya," I about lost it. What a treasure she was.
😭😭😭😭
My eyes filled up aswell 😭😭 voice of an absolute angel. Rest in perfect peace Minnie 💔💔💔
I sobbed 😭 I dedicated this song to my grandson remiah we call him miah. So the first time I heard this I lost it too.
Essentially saying goodbye 🥺💔
yea that part got me the most too
It must have been so painful to sing "stay with me while we grow old" when she knew that realistically that would not happen.
💔
oow
😢
Yes! She struggled, she didn't want to leave as well to leave her family, her sister being interviewed on Unsung, daughter Maya explained as well, her mother's life was short lived.
💔
3:02 she did not want to leave her babies 😭
Cynthiay Jackson 😰😰😰
Do you think people knew she was terminal.
Aww 😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭
TheWoodland12 no 💔💔💔
I can't believe she went an octave higher than the original super high note at the end. Wow. What a voice. Gone too soon. R.I.P.
LaReine....she sang five notes higher than even that in a live performance. She could probably keep going.!
It's only about a note, a note and a half higher than the original. Far off from an octave higher.
@@MultiKamil97actually OP is correct. The riff in the song ends on an A5 where as instead of continuing to go down she does an E6 and then A6.
Very connected ❤❤❤❤
She couldn't use her right arm because of cancer at this point. What a beautiful soul, what a warrior.
😢
Very touching
Someone needs to take this recording and have it digitally remastered because it deserves to sound as great as Minnie's voice. And especially with the violins. It would be heaven!
She left with a smile until the last moment. We should never forget what she did and the love she transmitted to us. May she rest in peace ♥
Rip

RIP Minnie.❤️🙏❤
Even in 2022 hearing her sing her kids names at the end is so heart wrenching!
The original queen of the whistle register! So strong and so passionate! Absolutely beautiful voice! Not even cancer could take that away from her. This is incredibly beautiful! May her wonderful soul RIP!!!
My tears couldn't stop falling with this video.Minnie Riperton didn't want to go she basically, was crying it out with grace and courage.Rest in peace sweet angel.💞Still loving you.2019
Your comment was so moving....well said. We will miss her forever Minnie, continue to rest in God's loving arms 💕🙏🏻
Great voice. one of my favorite songs of all time. post it to my facebook about every week.
I remember being pregnant with my first baby in 1979 and walking through the Westwood Cemetery trying to find Minnie’s grave. I did locate it. How very sad that she passed way too soon. I loved her voice so much. R. I. P. Minnie. You are missed!!
I was born November '79
And remembering her in 2022 :). I remember her from my teens! Great singer
TO THIS VERY DAY I'M SORRY FOR THE LOST OF HER.

RIP to one of my favorite vocalist. I can't believe it's been 40 years ago today since she transitioned.😢😢😢
Thank you for saying that she "transitioned". That comforts me as I attempt to dry my tears over this beautiful angel of a Lady.
Nasci nessa época essa música me leva para outras dimensões que não sei explicar...muito bom
She is a gift from Heaven. She sang even when she was severely sick… rest is peace princess of soprano. You’re remarkable person! Miss you so much… perhaps Lord needs such persons like you aside. 🙏🙏🙏
so... i'm crying ... 2020! RIP, Minnie...
i'm crying..2020..RIP, minnie
Heartbreaking...
Im crying in 2021😭🙏😭❤
Her voice sounds really beautiful, calming and comforting, she sing with her heart, all out for her babies,, just like a lullaby song for her kids,
It actually was a lullaby for Maya
That last note...oh my. Magnificent.
This may be the prettiest live version that she ever sang.💛🙏
Damn. Tears just streaming at her final outro of this song. This is how you say goodbye to your kids.
I can't imagine how painful this is for poor Maya and her brother to look at.....Life is soo unfair 😢😢😢😢
At this point cancer had paralyzed her arm. Family said it was really hard to get her dressed 4 her performances etc. It's also said that Return to Forever was her goodbye song.❤🙏🏾⚘
There’s something very sadistic about this. What I mean is how in the world can a gifted angel like this be stricken with cancer and die at 31. Devastating.
The last whistle. We love you. Minnie. 😭😭💓💓 She is gifted

The most gorgeous and gifted singer...heavens best angel
Ringo..Maya..that line broke me. Imagine knowing you only have a short time to live and never going to see your son and daughter grow up and singing the pain through their names. 😢
that wasn't her husband's name Ringo was her son's Marc's nick name.even after her treatments and pain she endured she never lost her voice
Ringo was her son's nickname and she loved her babies. Richard was her husband and he adored her and held her until her last moments. Theirs was a true love story.
She never lost a thing on her singing voice🌻R.I.P.
When i tell yall MINNIE JULIA RIPERTON was the definition of a true woman warrior
This is what i meant
She fought on till the end
She smiled through the pain
She didnt do what some of us today would do , sulk around and be sad because of what is to come
She strode on and gave us a final concert
I truly think she deserves more recognition for all she has done
And i tear up everytime i watch this 🥺
Especially when she calls out Marc and Maya's name 🤦♀️😫🥺😭😢😪
😭😭😭
Ringo (Marc), Maya... she wanted to get them both in the last time. It just kills me
I can’t stop watching this clip. My God. What a gift to the world she was.
Me neither. I think this was much more beautiful than the studio version, if that's even possible.
I just watched Maya, her daughter, rapping on SNL for Mother’s Day. Watching Riperton here sing Lovin You and knowing she had included Maya in her song was so touching. What strength she had knowing she was leaving her young children behind!

My English language is very small but ... I'll tell you that the love in this beautiful Minnie person catches everyone even decades later. Augusto
Her best ever performance, and an hymn against her death, to grasp onto life again.

Dam...She hits her high notes smooth and so at ease 😇🎙🎼🎼🎶🕊🕊
I can't help but cry. what a courageous lady. God got a seat in heaven for her. rest in peace my sweet dear
Happy birthday in heaven Ms minnie, 11/8/ 18, always remember
Forty-three years ago today, July 12th, 2022, that she left us... and, boy, how grateful I am that we shared the same planet for a few years.
2022 - She still brings chills when she hits those notes. She was first showing these octaves and we will forever miss you Minnie...❤
Never get tired of listening to Minnie Ripperton. She was a class act. Such golden perfection in her vocal abilities. Just her singing with the orchestra backing her, it doesn't get any better than that!
It’s the fact that she’s going through soo much still has the energy to sing
Like so many who commented, I can't help but cry! It's upsetting knowing that this beautiful woman was taken away at such a young age! Taken away from Her children, Her husband and The world that adored her. She never stopped glowing & Her beauty never went away
When she said her kids names Lord!❤
She was so brave ! Love & Admiration. Rip Queen.
She was the best and the Greatest of all time 🎉🎉🎉❤May She Rest in peace 💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️
Incredible voice. She makes it look so easy. Hypnotic performance.
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard. GOD gave her to us just a short while, then brought her back home! Thank you Minnie
What a load of rubbish. No god would take away someone like her in such a painful way
@@theelvisguru9490"No god would take away someone like her in such a painful way".
It's the consequences of what we have done as humans. All of us. Not just the first humans.
Each and every one of us has sinned.
We've been given a gift of salvation from the 2nd death through Yahusha Hamashiach (Christ). I pray Minnie truly accepted salvation through HIM. If she did, she is peacefully resting till the first resurrection and day of judgement.
It's laughable to hear people who are irreverent to GOD attempt to criticize HIM on a moral level even though HE *created* us.

Oh my, singing to her babies, Ringo and Maya, at the end....I don't know how to express how that makes me feel.....
So sad
That gorgeous face of hers complimented an amazing voice and presence. RIP and thank you for sharing your gift with us all.
I cry everytime I hear Minnie sing, and it's not just because I miss her. I've always loved her.
Nobody I mean nobody has complete control of the Whistle Register like Minnie did. She never strains to get those notes they just come to her.
Betty Wright, Shanice, Chante Moore and Denice Williams could maintain the register but Betty Wright had the strongest Whistle Register

Best voice ever! She will always be missed!
The World Lost One Of It's Most Beautiful Voice's And The Most Beautiful Lady Minnie You Will Never Ever Be Forgotten You Are A Perfect Angel ❤💔🌹
I remember this song when I was a little child in the '80s. I don't think there's other song as sweet as this is.
Singing her husband and daughter's name at the end... simply beautiful. I hope this tear rolls back into my eyes.
Actually, Ringo was her son Marc's nickname. She absolutely loved her children so much she immortalized her connection with them in two songs, As heard here in "Lovin You" and also in "Wouldn't Matter Where You Are" (Marc.... I'm Calling You; I've got to get my hands on you right now).
Kayla Echols mine too... i remember when she died very sad but i was too young to understand
Ringo’s her son 😢
Perfect voice RIP Minnie 🎶🎵👍
3:01 singing her babies names 🥺💕
The pure Joy and Happiness she will have when she sees her family again.
Perfection with cancer, unconcievable.
I can remember being a innocent young child in the 2nd grade and really liking this song. Now at 53 not so innocent anymore I still feel the same. Just Beautiful.
What an incredible talent. Fly high Legend 🕊️
There will never have a true talent like this in this century!
She will ALWAYS be my favorite female singer. Lovin You. ALWAYS...
Awesome singer with a Beautiful voice ,shes was Blessed with a Beautiful Voice ,Thats why Shes RIP with God Singing to him.

Her beautiful soul came shinning through with every song she sang. Thank you Minnie Riperton for gracing the world with your angelic voice. Rip.
Uma das maiores vocês que eu já ouvir. Simplesmente extraordinário...

What a beautiful woman, soul and spirit. She was one of a kind and her legacy lives on. RIP
Oh Minnie you are the only one who can do this to me :)
Incredible. Stunning. I think her love for music, her family, and her fans is what kept her going to the end.
I love!!!!!!!!!!! this song. It's such a beautiful!!! song. Mrs. Minnie Riperton voice is unique and beautiful!!!
What a special moment…. I hope her kids feel loved and know that mommy was thinking of them ❤️
3:35 3:35 Absolutely the most beautiful love song ever.
I have loved this song since the 1st time I heard it all those years ago. It so perfectly described how I felt about my husband & her voice is so angelic. Still Loving You after all these years, my love, even though you've gone to heaven like Minnie.💖❤️🔥💖❤️🔥💖
...
Please, stay with me while we grow old and we will live each day in springtime 🎶…If only we could have 💔💧
I wish I would have met Minnie Riperton. She had a Beautiful voice. Omg she can hit a high note. It's not gonna be another Minnie Riperton. She is a perfect angel. May she continue to rest in God's loving arms.
She should still be here, loving her grandkids 😞 living life.
I've been reduced to tears. What a voice.
I am listening to this song at 3:39 a.m., April 15, 2021.😭I was a student at Morgan State University when this song came out.
What a beautiful woman. May her rest in peace.
Amen!!!
Beautiful song sung by a Beautiful soul taken to soon rip.
She may have died but her voice and her spirit lives on and will live in people's hearts forever 🥀🌹⚘💀⚰⚱🎼🎵🎶🎹🎙👑👩🎤👩🎤
